About
Joni Mitchell has never been a musician to slavishly follow fashion. Her albums, though, often carry the overall feel of their era. The ‘80s went deeper into programmed drums and keyboards, while the ‘90s show interest in guiding a tight band. 1998’s <i>Taming the Tiger</i> centers on Mitchell’s lyrical and melodic gifts. The romantic heartbreak of “Man on Mars” is supported by an elegant melody. “Love Puts on a New Face” weaves through the unnamable vibrations that chart one’s existence, supported by Wayne Shorter’s saxophone. “Lead Balloon” gets her pulse racing for the social commentary of “No Apologies.” Other songs seem to address her then-newfound daughter and grandson.
